Ingredients

1 pound Italian sausage (hot or mild, your choice)

1 cream cheese (8 oz)

1 cup sour cream

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup marinara sauce

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for extra kick)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Tortilla chips or sliced baguette (for serving)

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the Italian sausage. Cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks (about 5-7 minutes). Drain excess grease.

Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese to the skillet, stirring until melted and fully incorporated with the sausage.

Add the sour cream, shredded mozzarella cheese, marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Cook the mixture on low for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until everything is bubbly and heated through.

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for garnish.

Serve warm with tortilla chips or sliced baguette for dipping. Enjoy!
